Malta-England: a special occassion

Day -293 WorldCup2018

I should have know better yesterday than to say I would carry on with my Malta-England theme today. It's too late to write the story I had in my head. Tomorrow? Maybe.

I will say that this is the first time in my life that Malta are playing a competitive match against England at home. It's pretty special, if you are a football fan. (I'm trying to think of a comparison here for a film lover, or an art lover but am blank. So fill in your own blanks for comparison). It's even more special if you grew up watching Malta and always wishing and hoping for the one big result, and if you also grew up watching England at World Cups and wishing and hoping for the one big result. And now the two worlds collide.

Now the next super special thing would be to be in Malta when they play England. Maybe next time.
